Speechless Sunday: I Miss Pierre Elliott Trudeau

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Immeubles Deakin Realty

Picture of Pierre Elliott TrudeauFormer prime minister of Canada.

Always entertaining.

Poetic.

Loved to dance.

Champion of human rights.

Mischievous grin.

Survivor of personal tragedy.

Father of open-minded, creative, thinking sons.

A Montrealer.

One of the few Canadian politicians in my lifetime who actually had personality. Love him or leave him, he made an impact on you.  

I miss charisma in Canadian politics.

(Picture from a tribute to him at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.)

Tanya - he did make Canadian politics a wee bit more interesting didn't he :0)   I do like "Just in Time" and I'm always watching to see the impact he has and will have.  Nice post!

Thanks Susan.  He and Harper were NOT cut from the same cloth. Ah yes, the good old days... : )

Yes, Jim, you could probably call him that too at times.

Kevin, I think she had to be to keep up with the likes of him...and to keep the likes of him interested.

Somehow, Gary, you know just the thing I need to hear : )  So glad you stop by often...

I agree, Jane: those cheekbones, and that smile, and those laugh wrinkles around the eyes. Et la joie de vivre aussi!

Tanya,

You have to be kidding. I'm an ex-Albertan from the days when Lalonde and Trudeau screwed that place.
